Show History
5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche was co-written by Andrew Hobgood and Evan Linder in 2011. Since then, it’s become one of the most-produced comedies in American community theater — a testament to the enduring power of egg dishes and chosen family.
THE BIRTH OF A QUICHE
Co-written by Andrew Hobgood and Evan Linder, the show premieres at The New Colony in Chicago. Five ladies, one quiche, zero men. The recipe is born.
SPREADING LIKE WARM BRIE
Word travels fast when the quiche is this good. Regional theaters across the country begin picking up the script. The Susan B. Anthony Society for the Sisters of Gertrude Stein opens new chapters everywhere.
GOING INTERNATIONAL
Productions pop up in Australia, the UK, and Canada. Turns out the universal language isn't love — it's quiche.
200 PRODUCTIONS & COUNTING
The show crosses the 200-production milestone. Community theaters, universities, and professional companies alike can't resist the siren call of egg custard in a pastry crust.
THE 15TH ANNIVERSARY
A community celebration of 15 years of quiche, queerness, and impeccable manners under apocalyptic circumstances. The show has now been produced over 300 times on six continents. (Still working on Antarctica.)
MILWAUKEE PREMIERE
Cap and Glasses Studios and The Constructivists bring the show to Milwaukee's first fully accessible theater. The Society has never looked so good.
